[Hook: Aaliyah, Treach]
[Treach:] I'm looking for a girl like you
[Aaliyah:] Well here I go
[Treach:] I hope, I hope to me you won't lie too
[Aaliyah:] Well tell me more, I'm looking for a guy like you
[Treach:] Yeah you know me, I hope..I hope
[Aaliyah:] You feel it in your knees
[Treach:] Oh yes indeed

[Verse 2: Aaliyah]
When I first saw you
That's when I knew, I really knew
I wanted to get close to you
I'm watching, clocking you
I just spend my days, wondering when I will see your face
Boy I just wanna see your face and hear you say

[Repeat Hook 2x]

[Bridge x2: Aaliyah]
Dada dah dah
Dadada
Dada dah dah

[Verse 3: Aaliyah, Treach]
[Aaliyah:] It would not be too hard
If you want my heart, just say you love me
[Treach:] I'm loving every inch
[Aaliyah:]No one in the world could tear us a part
I'll be your lady
[Treach:] Well can I have a pinch?
[Aaliyah:] So what you say
[Treach:] What do I say?
[Aaliyah:] Baby tell me what's your name
[Treach:] Treach, you wanna play?
[Aaliyah:] Will it be okay
[Treach:] Capital A-ok
[Aaliyah:] Let me take you to my home

[Verse 4: Aaliyah, Treach]
[Aaliyah:] I wanna get to know a little more about you
And then you smile
[Treach:] And then what follows?
[Aaliyah:] Our love is pouring down
[Treach:] Like there ain't no tomorrow
[Aaliyah:] Baby can we talk
[Treach:] My heart ain't hollow
[Aaliyah:] About us
[Treach:] Melts in my mouth but that ain't all though
[Aaliyah:] And then you smile
[Treach:]And then what follows?
[Aaliyah:] Our love is pouring down
[Treach:] Like there ain't no tomorrow
[Aaliyah:] Baby can we talk
[Treach:] My heart ain't hollow
[Aaliyah:] About us
[Treach:] Melts in my mouth but that ain't all though

[Repeat Hook 2x]

Produced by Kay Gee, Darren Lighty. A Girl Like You is the forth song from Aaliyah’s second studio album; One in a Million. It samples Kool & the Gang’s Summer Madness. This was one of the first songs in hip-hop to feature a duet, where it’s not just a hip-hop artist putting a 16 on a R&B song or a R&B artist singing on a rap song. It fused the two.
